OBITUARY..

Passed away Wednesday June odd, af-
ter long and painful illness, Mrs. Eunice
Cross, wife of ID. +. Cross, of Amboy,
peacefully passed from this life to bet
ter life beyond. The deceased was 46
years of age, and has been resident of
the town of Shelby for a number of
years, their family being among the
early settlers of the town. She was well
known and respected by large circle of
relatives, friends and neighbors, who
deeply mourn her loss, and sympathize
with the bereaved family in this their
deep affiiction. She left husband and
three children, Henry, Win and Agnes,
who can look back with loving remem-
brance to having had devoted mother
to watch over them in the years of tn cir
youth. She left them at the call of her
Maker, and has gone on only little
while before them, and is now waiting
to welcome them one by one, as they
pass through the shadow she passed
through to the presence of God, and the
glorious sunlight of her heavenly home.
Your mother is not dead, but living
Ger on that blissful shore;
Where pain and sickness ne'er shall enter,
Where death is felt and feared no more.
IL you heed her gentle warnings,
Follow the advice she's given,
The summons will at last be to you
Come TO mothers home and heaven"
The services were held in the M. f.
church, Elder Peter Clare, of Winnebago
City, officiating, assisted by Elder Smith,
of Vernon Center. The interment was
III the Winnebago Cemetery.

The republican senate has come up
to the help ofthe democratic office
holders against the retormers in their

preparation bill there was an item Of
$500, 600 to pay the registers and receivers
of land offices salaries Of $4,000 each ID
lien OF the fees they had been getting.
An additional itom appropriated $780,
600 to pay the incidental expenses OF
such land offices. That great expounder
Of the constitution and statutes, William
Andrew jackson Sparks, rendered q de.
'cision to- the effect that Office rents, fuel
light, clerk hire and SO on were not CON
itingsnt expenses, but must be paid for
by register or receiver out of his salary

are afraid that the combination will go
to pieces On the question Of appropria-
lions, as neatly every SECTION OF the
country has an appropriation to ask.
There are already two bids in for sol
diers' homes, one to be located at PIERS
and the other at Hot Springs They are
both south Dakota institutions, and then
there IL wanted an educational lnstitation
~ Ordway, and Representative Sullivan
is here to get an appropriation for the
building OF q reform school at p AK
linton. This school was located two
years ago, but no appropriation was
made for its construction. That 10
what Mr.. Sullivan wants. North Ds-
kota wants an appropriation for the
completion os the capitol. and with sll
these wants iii the field there is q great
opportunity offered the factions for
trading and bargaining. The two SOL
diers' homes will probably be the cause
OF the break iE southern ranks if there is
one Tor there ia q liability OF tho Pierre
element and the Hot Springs faction
allying themselves with the north if by
go doing they can carry their point.
Either OF these factions is liable to say
TO the north, "Here. You stand by US
in getting this appropriation for our
soldiers home and we will help you on
your capitol appropriation" and in this
way the deal will probably be made, and
thus Mitchell may get the United States
court from Yankton. All existing insti-
~tutions In both north and south Dakota
will, OF course, be taken, care Of. The
appropriations for the bHilding of new
institutions are what are given the law
makers trouble, and they are not sure of
the proper way to go at il. They fear il
they send these bills in to the governor
separately he will veto the sppropria-
tions for the new establishments and it
10 not probable that q deal Of this kind
could be put up between the north and
tho south, aud each would be afraid that
the other party's bill would be approved
and theirs would get . veto, so it ha,
been about settled that towards the last
OF the session an omnibus bill covering
all appropriations for existing and new
institutions will be passed and the
governor will be virtuallye obliged to
approve it. from the fact that there il
not time enough to prepare other bills
and il be vetoes it the institutions now
exiating will be left ont in the cold ia
wrestle through two years without grass
or water.
